I read somewhere that you can use a pizza stone in the bottom of your gas oven
to help raise the heat. My thoughts were to use one in the bottom of our
Coleman camping oven for the same reason except the smallest pizza stone I can
find is a 13". The oven is only about 10" so that would be too big. Anybody
got any suggestions for substitutions that would work?

I was planning on putting an unglazed tile in my Coleman oven.

Okay Rich, how about being a sweetheart and tell me where you found it?

Longaberger used to sell a small stone that you use to keep the bread
warm with.....if memory serves me correctly, the Cracker Barrel Country
Store used to have something similar. That one was a small round one,
maybe 6 to 8 inches wide.

Hmmm, maybe I need to go have dinner at our local Cracker Barrel. Thanks
Sharon. I'll have to see if ours still has some.

BTW, I'm glad to see you're still around.

I believe it was at a kitchen supply store. Someting along the lines of
Lecther's, or try one of these shop at home catalogs like Harriet Davis or
something. I'll look around at what catalogs I have and let you know if I see
it.

You can try the plain, flat, red clay tiles that are about 5 by 11 inches. I
think they are called quarry tiles (but they are clay not stone). Julia
Child used them in her oven on an episode of "The French Chef". If they are
good enough for her then they are good enough for me. They should be about
$1.00 a piece.

We have a small bar pan at Pampered Chef - it fits into a toaster (or
camper) oven.
Several customers had been asking for one that size and it's been a great
seller.
However, I don't know about it "raising the heat". Anything you cook on it,
it will stay warmer longer.
IF you're interested, I'll send you some more info.

You can cut the stone down to the exact size with a circular saw using
the correct kind of blade....the kind of blade used on a tile
saw...I'm sure the guy at Lowes or Home Depot knows the correct
blade...

go to pampered chef and get their small unglazed stone. it works well in a
small oven.
a stone will not cause an oven to heat faster but it will help keep the temp
more even so the oven is more effecient.

Call a tile installation company. They will be able to supply you with what
you need and cut in to exact size or save you time by suggesting somewhere
local. Some companies specialize in marble and stone, call them first.

I did some more web searching and found a place (www.theposhpeddler.com - for
those of you that might also be interested) that sells two 8" round pizza
stones for under $20, so I may just order them. The size is just right and
I'll have two so if one ever breaks, I'll have another to replace it with.

Get two!

We use one around the house qute a bit - like when cooking small store
bought pizzas in the oven. Make decent pads for setting hot pots on
counters, too.
